COMMERCIAL AND
The weather for the past few days has been
unfavorable for cither work on the farms or
for hauling to market. This has retarded bust
cess In some lines to a certain extent, but the
Spring trade on the whole has been so much
better than In former seasons that no com
plaint Is heard. There were no features of
special Interest In the market situation yester
day, aside from a firmer feeling In potatoes,
due to light receipts. Butter was still weak,
but public quotations remain unchanged.
Wheat continued Inactive, with no sales re
ported. Oats are not coming In very freely,
but In the absence of any special demand,
prices refuse to rally. The high prices asked
by tho mohair men prevent much business 4n
that product, and the inclemency of the weath
er has postponed anything like early shearing,
o the wool situation remains quiet. Hops
continue very firm, with no new transactions in
old crop reported. " '
In the grocery market, sugar continues the
object of interest, but is not rewarding the
watchers with any display of either strength
or weakness. The advance of 10c per 100 a
few days ago was strictly a local affair, and
the great questions which brought on the con
flict are still unsettled.
WHEAT With steam freights to Europe by
way of the Suez cut to 26s 3d, and sail tonnage
obtainable at at least a shilling less, the
weakness In the foreign wheat market Is
scarcely felt In the Pacific Northwest. Strictly
speaking, there Is not much "weakness of the
foreign market," the frequent .sagging over
there being almost wholly a reflection, of the
weakness In Chicago. The foreign market has
a good undertone of strength, and only awaits
the slightest encouragement from this side to
more to a materially higher level. When
America ceases- to throw her wheat at the for
eigners at any old price, there will be a bulge
that may reach surprising proportions. For
"Walla Walla wheat, G4c Is the general quota
tion, and very little is selling at that figure.
Some was offering yesterday at 65c, and one
lot could have been secured for 64c. The
amount of business Just at present Is, In the
aggregate, 0f very small proportions, and for
the remainder of the season will be largely of
a "cleanlng-up" nature.
With so little remaining of the old crop, In
terest has shifted to a considerable extent to
prospects for new crop, price of bags, charters,
etc "East of the mountains, prospects con
tinue very favorable for a good crop, but In
the Valley more sunshine and less rain Is need
ed. There has been so much rain that farm
ers have had .no opportunity for plowing, and
unless there Is an Improvement in the weather
very soon, the acreage of Spring grain will be
very small. Present prospects throughout the
three state, while less favorable than a year
ago, are still sufficiently good. If favored with
good weather from this time on. to turn off a
crop above the average for tho past 10 years,
although not as large a yield as was produced
last year. In the East crop conditions have
changed by little.
Mclntyre & Marshall's special grain letter
says:
The visible supply of wheat Is about 5,000,000
bushels less than at this time a year ago. This,
with a small movement coming from first hands
and stocks In the Northwest elevators only
2,200,000 bushels, against 4,000,000 bushels last
ear, and 6,700,000 bUBhels two years ago,
makes wheat look cheap at present prices.
Furthermore, we believe In our own crop
expert's advices on the condition of the crop
in Kansas, Oklahoma and Indiana. From this
latter Information there Is no reason to expect
at present anything like an average crop in
the Southwest. As soon as navigation is
opened, the visible supply will melt away very
rapidly, as the foreigners are still good buyers
of cash wheat, and they will continue to be so
for the balance of the crop year.
The Liverpool Corn Trade News, under date
of March 24, prints the following regarding
crop conditions in three of the world's big
wheat countries:
Russia A telegraphic report received by the
London Standard yesterday announced a hard
frost following a period of very mild weather.
The exact significance of this news 'is difficult
to estimate correctly. On the one hand. It can
be conceded that severe weather at this time
is capable of doing immense damage, but then
if such bad been caused or was feared it
would hardly be left to a newspaper corre
spondent to announce the fact, and It Is not
so long ago that a similar report from a simi
lar source turned out to be quite unfounded.
It must be remembered, too, that the crops
have hitherto developed satisfactorily, and the
plant should bo In good shape to withstand
the effects of any ordinary frosts. "Writing on
March 19, our Odessa correspondent says he
has heard no complaints from the Interior, and
It is generally admitted that the crops have
wintered well. Shipments last week were quite
moderate of wheat, but the movement of maize
kecrs liberal. There Is little doubt that the
quantities will keep small until fresh supplier
reach the ports, and navigation on the Sea of
Azoff gets into full swing, and this may b'e
retarded by tho cold weather. The first barges
had Just arrived at Odessa at date of our last
report.
India Tho Viceroy reports that showers have
fallen In the drouth-stricken Punjab and north
west provinces. Good rains have fallen in
Bengal and Bebar. Crop prospects have slight
ly Improved, but this must refer to native
food grains. A second official general memo
randum on the wheat crop which has Just
been received Indicates that this season's area
for reaping will be one of the smallest on rec
ord. At date of reports, ahout February 25,
the irrigated lands of the Punjab and the
northwest promised to give a fair yield, and
the same could be said for Slnd,. central prov
inces and Bengal, but elsewhere the yields will
be very short. On unlrrigated land in the Pun
jab crops have been destroyed.
France The weather has been most favorable
for the Winter crops and Spring aeedlngs. Sat
isfaction with crop conditions is generally ex
pressed, complaints being few and of a local
character. Offers on country markets recently
have been very light, and the opinion Is ex
pressed that small growers have sold out,
whilst large farmers, who still have good
quantities, are holding their grain In the hope
of still higher values. This scarcity of sup
plies has forced the market upward, in spite
of a very poor millers demand and good crop
reports.
FREIGHTS There Is very little business In
freights at the present time, shipowners and
exporters not being In accord regarding values.
Twenty-five shillings is a fair nominal quota
tion for spot sail tonnage, but exporters object
to paying anything above San Francisco fig
ures, which are about 23s. A large steamer
was offering yesterday .at 26s 3d for either
Portland or Tacoma, but found no takers, and
unless there Is an improvement In the foreign
market which will warrant higher prices for
wheat, exporters, like owners, "prefer to wait,"
There is some business doing in new-crop
charters, but the rates demanded are above
the Ideas of most of the operators, and a large
proportion of tho charters already made are
believed to be speculative.
"WOOL AND MOHAIR-The wool market Is
rather quiet, .but there Is some activity in
mohair, the season for this product being well
advanced, and numorous sales reported. Prices
have advanced in sympathy with other markets
and while one large pool Is reported to have
sold at 20c. the ruling quotations are around
23c No wool Is being taken off yet, and un
less there is a change in the weather, the sea
son will be late. The Eastern market shows
no change In quotations, and is thus reviewed
by the New York Journal of Commerce, under
date of April S:
Little of Interest has transpired In the local
wool market during the week past. Business
has been decidedly small, and inquiries few
and for between. This Is mainly due to the
fact that mills have no very pressing needs at
the present time, and only operate on the
market when obliged to fill in on some special
order.
In some quarters business is reported as fall
ing short of last week's sales, but, notwith
standing this, prices are Just as firm, and con
cessions are an almost unknown quantity. Sell
ers have not advanced their prices, but they
are in a more or less Independent position, and
are not pressing wool for sale at the present
time, as supplies In the market are sufficient
to take care of the probable requirements of
manufacturers for the time being; but there is
a more pronounced disposition "to await further
developments In the direction of a fuller busi
ness. Tho chief business In domestics has
been In pulled wool and territories.
Foreign wools have been dull here, but In
other markets have sold more freely in fine
grades. Chinas remain quiet, with recent ar
rivals of moderate extent only. Carpet wools
have been quiet with demand very moderate.
HOPS The only business In hops for the
FINANCIAL NEWS
past week has been in new-crop .contracting,
and even this has been on a limited scale, com
pared with operations earlier In the season.
Most of the dealers are now offering 12c and
12Uc for new-crop contracts, but occasionally
12c is paid. It is estimated thatJ17,000 bales
of the 1002 crop has already been contracted
for, some of it as low as 0c but the bulk of
the contracts being around lie and 12c per
pound. The situation In the East is thus re
viewed by New Tork mall advices, under date
of April 5:
Offerings of state hops were decidedly limit
ed, due to the scant supplies In dealers' hands,
and prices were firm, with choice quoted at
18tf10e. Brewers, it was stated, found It
necessary to pay from 1910Hc for such sup
plies of choice grades as they purchased. Pa
cifies were in better supply than states, and
were quoted at 1718Hc for choice. No new
developments were reported up the state nor
on the Coast.
The Watervllle Times of April 1 says of hops:
"The market Is positively dead as far as
transactions are concerned. The few remain
ing lots In this vicinity are being held for
higher prices, and offers of 17c it is reported,
have no effect on the holders. Grubbing has
begun in some yards towards Deansboro, but
the ground Is not In proper condition to work
successfully. Pole-setting is also In progress J
In some yards."
The Otsego Republican of April 2 says that
the Dorrance Talbot lot of 24 bales hops grown
In New Lisbon, one of the best lots of last
year's crop, was sold here Monday at 17&c;
possibly better. The terms were private, but
this is about the price.
POTATOES AND ONIONS The potato mar
ket soared up to new heights yesterday morn
ing, and for choice stock $1 40 per cental was
offered, with about everything that came along
good enough to command from ft up to 1 80
per cental. There has been a sharp falling off
in receipts, and an attendant bracing up of
prices. Some dealers are inclined to be skep
tical about these prices holding very long,
while others are of the opinion that the re
mainder of the season will witness a much
better market than has thus far been In evi
dence. The last steamer took down a much
smaller shipment than usual, and the next one
to sail will have a still lighter shipment.
Onions are steady, with the best stock still
around (2 per cental, although as usual some
of the fancy selects sell for more money.
BUTTER The market continues weak with
lower prices almost certain within a few days.
Receipts are very heavy, and despite the fact
that the greater part of the sales of fancy
creamery are made at 22C Instead cf the reg
ular quotation of 25c stocks are accumulating.
California butter has been shut out of the local
market by the recent reduction In prices here,
but stocks In San Francisco are reported to bo
accumulating, and it is probable that prices
will be cut In order to make a clean-up. Any
reduction In the price of butter In San Fran
cisco will naturally be followed by lower prices
in this city and 20c for fancy creamery is not
very far away.
EGGS The receipt of some liberal orders for
shipment to Alaska, coming right-on lop of
pretty free buying for cold storage, has Infused
considerable life Into tho gg market, and
while they were obtainable In a small way at
14c yesterday morning, the price advanced
quickly to l&c and they were very firm at that
figure last evening, with the street almost
bare of stocks. Large quantities havo gone
Into cold storage at 13, 13Hc and 14c and as
they are going Into storage ai about the same
figures in the East. It-is hardly probable that
prices will be permitted to fall below those
figures, no, matter how heavy receipts may be.
POULTRY Receipts of poultry are light,
and good prices are obtainable for anything
that comes along. Old chickens are In excep
tional demand, and fancy stock sells up as
high as (5 CO and $6 per dozen. For Springs
of the vintage of 1002 there Is an excellent de
mand, and where they are of good size they
will sell as high as old chickens. Ducks arc
in good demand at quotations, and with so
much strength in the chicken market, geese
are doing a little better. Turkeys are wanted
In limited numbers at quotations, but the de
mand Is light at this season of the year, chick
ens being in more favor than any other kind
of poultry.

GRAIX MARKETS.
Chicago Wheat "Was Active
and
Closed 5-8o Up.
CHICAGO. April 9. Speculation In wheat
was better than for some days past. Condi
tions favored the bulls from the start. Cables
were higher; primary receipts were very small,
and clearances were nearly double all receipts.
There was a decided sentiment that the market
was on the upturn, and good general buying
set in. There were continued reports of de
creasing stocks, and Bradstreet's showed the
world's supply decreased 2,200.000 bushels,
whereas It was Increased 442,000 bushels last
year. Weather over the wheat states is cold
and dry. At times there was profit-taking
that brought reactions, but heavy buying orders
from the Southwest, where It seems crop con
ditions are becoming bad. brought rallies. Ex
port bids, however, were out of line, and the
cash trade was not very good. May opened
U-c higher, at 71072c sold to 72VJc eased
to 714071c, and then spurted to 72$c closing
firm. c up. at 7254072.
Corn started oat strong. Receipts were very
small, nd reports from the South were bullish.
Kansas City and St. Louis did gdod buying,
arid shorts covered freely. The late rally In
wheat helped materially. May closed steady,
c up. at 53c
Oats were quiet, but were aided somewhat
by tho strength In other grains. Some support
was given on the news that much of the Illi
nois crop would have to be ro-seeded. May
sold as low as 42Hc and closed c higher, at
42c
Provisions held firm against the depressing
influence of a weak hog market. Lard and
ribs were In good demand on a supposedly Im
proved cash situation. Pork at times showed
weak spots, but the whole list was supported
by packers. May pork closed 5 points up, ribs
7c advanced, lard steady and unchanged at
closing prices.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Western Men Engaged Actively in
Speculation.
NEW YORK, April 9. There was a notable
speculative movement in the stock market to
day, which was universally attributed to the
operations of an Important combination of
wealthy Western men. who were important
factors Tn the constituent companies going to
make up the United States Steel Corporation
before It was organized. In the ordinary ac
ceptance of the term, there was no news to
explain the movement of stocks or the enor
mous buying which caused It. but the fact was
patent that the buyers were possessed cf prac
tically unlimited resources to transact business
on such a scale, and also that the faith in
them was so strong that they were, getting f
their money's worth.
While there was nd actual news accompany
ing the movement, there was an abundance of
rumors, which centered mostly about Louisville
& Nashville, which was again the leader of
the market In point of activity and sustained
strength. The rumors reached the stage of an
alleged formation of a communlty-of-lnterest
project for the whole Southern field, which
would supposedly take in the Southern Rail
way, Illinois Central, and possibly minor com
panies. There were minor explanations grow
ing out of the announced policy on the part of
the Louisville & Nashville to extend into new
territory, which Involved the absorption, of con
necting lines entering Chicago. None of these
rumors could obtain any official countenance
There was some credence for a suggestion that
the marketing of the new stock Just announced
had Involved tho creation of a large short in
terest In the market for the relief of which new
stock will not be available as a delivery until
the formalities of listing on the Stock Exchange
have been compiled with.
This explanation would not apply to the nota
ble broadening of the- speculative movement
today Into other quarters of the market
Louisville itself, while occasionally reactionary,
forged up to the top level, 5 points over last
night. In the final dealings, and closed within
a shade of that. The Southern Railway stocks
were also lifted forcibly to tho top level at the
last. The rest of the account showed the effect
of realizing at the last, and some lmpprtant
stocks closed with net losses, notably New
York Central. Manhattan. Chicago & North
western stocks and Rock Island. Some of the
minor railroad stocks which have recently ad
vanced were also sufferers. While a large
number of Important stocks were Included In
the advance, tho movement was by no means
universal, and many prominent stocks were
neglected and sluggish. United Btatos Steel
stocks still conspicuously so. There was also
the usual assortment of violent movements in
high-priced Industrials, which are closely hold
by concentrated Interests. The electrical stocks
and New York Air Brake made wild advances
and almost equally sensational relapses. Tho
rise of 6H In New York & New Haven was un
explained.. American Snuffs 7-polnt gain was
practically all of It made on one sale.
Some of the active speculative bonds were
affected by realizing and the market generally
was Irregular. Total sales, $5,530,000. United
States 4s advanced H. and the 3s coupon de
clined per cent on the last call.
Closing: Stock Quotations.

HUMAN GIANT HERE!
Crichton's Mountain of Flesh Out
classes All Giants of History.
The unjust and unfounded suspicions of
the numerous friends of D. "W. Crichton,
based on some of the stories he told on
his return from a recent vlrtt to British
Columbia, have caused him much mental
anguish and some sleepless hours. Be
cause he said that a saloon-keeper in
some town of British Columbia closed his
saloon during the noon hour while he went
to luncheon, and told of seeing a man
of gigantic stature over there, he has
been accused of patronizing a Swipes Nir
vana at Victoria, and it has been taore
thajj. hinted that his stories were based
on the- unsubstantiated fabric of a pipe
dream, Mr. Crichton, although deeply
pained, has maintained his composure,
Ttnowlng that the righteous are bound
to triumph, and now his triumph has come
and his vlllners and detractors will have
to go 'way back and sit down.
The giant described by Mr. Crichton has
arrived in Portland, and called at The
Oregonlan office yesterday in a furniture
Chamber of Commerce
van. Ho wished to demonstrate that Mr.
Cr.lchton Is a truthful man, and as he is
by nature and inclination a side show,
he did not wish to expose himself to pub
lic gaze, so chose a closed furniture van
of the largest size to visit The Oregonlan.
The van did not ascend In tho elevator,
but the big man did. after folding himself
double. The sight of film coming down
the hall frightened several of the force,
who are troubled with consciences, into
sllenco for the first time in their lives.
In stature this giant outclasses every
thing human, as he is 7 feet W& Inches
In height, weighs 277 pounds, and his shoes
are 2 inches long and his feet fill them
and run over some. Neither Goliath of
Gath, Saul (the big one), Thor, the Scan
dinavian hammer-thrower, the King of the
Brobdlgnagians, nor Gog and Magog, are
worthy of being mentioned In the same
day with him he outclasses them all. He
is a French Canadian, born In the North
west Territory, where the population Is
sparse, and he was not crowded. He is
well proportioned, but cracks all tho mir
rors he looks at, and in traveling has al
ways to sleep on tho floor.
If Crichton's visit to British Columbia
Is In any way responsible for this moun
tain of flesh coming here, it will be well
for Crichton to remain on this side of the
boundary line In future. The man who
closes his saloon at noon is coming over
In a few days to further vindicate Mr.
Crichton's truthfulness.
